Bloom's Day Washington DC Events

Next Wednesday, June 16th is the 100th anniversary of Bloom's Day, the day on which James Joyce's Ulysses is set. There is some debate surrounding Joyce's choice of 16 June 1904 for the work--it is rumored that he fell in love with Nora Barnacle that day.

There are a lot of celebrations internationally for Bloom's Day, but what is going on in DC? Kelly's Irish Times has passed again on hosting a reading of Ulysses. Where can a Washingtonian drink beer and celebrate?!

Let us know if you find anything! Just don't be readin' _Ulysses_ out loud in public, or Joyce's grandson will get you for copyright violations. :)
